A/n- Afternoon ya'll! So I got an amazing response from the last chapter, most saying that they weren't expecting the twist that I tossed in and all I have to say about that is that I'm glad, I like to keep people on edge. So I'm going to try and extend this story from 10 chapters to 15 at the most and just put in more detail then I originally was going too. As always major thank yours to everyone that read, reviewed, favorited and followed, I am a self-proclaimed review whore and as you can see they help me to keep writing and to update much much faster. The songs for this chapter are:
I Love You (Prelude to Tragedy)- HIM

And

Get Out Alive- Three Days Grace

Okay so that's enough for an author's note and I'm done ranting so until next time, happy reading!

Chapter 6- I love you (prelude to tragedy)

"What do you mean you quit?" Meredith screeched in her ear and Elena winced as she held the phone away from her head. Shaking her head she walked back into the main part of the bus, all the while listening to the chipmunk sounding voice coming from the phone that she was holding in front of her, not wanting to hear the screaming anymore.

"What part of quit do you not understand?" She finally questioned when the screaming stopped, dropping heavily down onto one of the window seats, "I'm done with this tour, I'm done with Kompulsion, I don't want to be here anymore, mentally I can't be here anymore." Meredith sputtered for a few moments before swearing.

"You can't just quit Elena, you're under contract." Elena swore as well, slumping back as she held the phone back to her ear.

"I don't care." She finally snapped, chewing on her thumb nail, "If I have to see that pretentious Italian douche bag one more time I'm liable to scream." Meredith snorted, laughing softly.
"Elena you love Kompulsion. I know that they aren't what you built them up to be in your head but they are human and they can be annoying but it's not something worth ruining your career over, and trust me when I say that if you back out of the tour, it will be the killing blow to your career, I don't care how much they liked your first album. If you back out now the record label won't keep you and I know that I won't be able to find another one that will take you with a black mark like that on your record." Elena swore again before she sighed, her nail starting to bleed from how much she was chewing on it.

"Meredith you don't understand." She whined, slumping down a little more, "I can't be around him anymore." Elena could practically hear the eye room from over the phone.

"Then ignore him, but you can't back out Lena." Groaning softly in frustration Elena didn't say anything else but instead hung up on Meredith, chucking her phone across the bus at the other window seat.

"What did the phone ever do to you?" Elena swore and wished that she had the phone again simply so that she could chuck it at him. She had hoped that ignoring him the first time he had called her name that maybe he would get the hint that she didn't want to talk to him but it didn't seem to be getting through his thick head.

"What do you want Damon?" She cocked an eyebrow at him and folded her arms across her chest, giving him a look that could put his fiancés to shame.

"Elena, listen, about Caroline." He began shifting from one foot to the next and all it took was her name and him telling her what to do and her temper flared.

"No Damon," She snarled hopping to her feet, "You don't get to talk about her, I don't want to hear your bullshit, I don't want to hear your lies, and I don't want to hear anything from you." She took a deep breath to calm herself down again least she burst into tears in front of him, which at that point felt like the worst possible thing that could happen, "You played with my head, you used me and frankly I would just rather forget that you even existed. So turn your ass around, spare me your excuses and go back to your whore." Damon flinched at her anger.

"Elena that's not Fai-"

"So help me Damon if you say fair, I will personally kick your ass."

"You don't even know Caroline." And with that Elena lost her temper, everything that she had been feeling since the day that the tour started exploding forward.

"I don't even care to know Caroline; this is what I do know though. You played me. You made me believe that you cared about me when you had a fiancé. You have done nothing but fuck with my head since day one and as far as I am concerned that it something that can never be forgiven. So turn yourself around and walk away from me before I do something that will make you regret ever laying your eyes on me."

"Elena you don't understand Ca-" He began but Elena had had enough by that point and the more that he went on about it the more that her anger grew, the more that she knew she had to get away from him before she swung and caused problems that were the last thing that she needed to have on her plate.

"What part of I DON'T CARE do you not understand?" She snarled, glaring at him, her mind swirling will all the horrible possibilities that she wished would happen to him. Damon shook his head and reached for her, the worst possible thing that he could do in that moment. "Don't touch me." She cried pulling her arm away from him so he couldn't touch her, she had momentum going, the second he touched her she knew that she would lose her steam and break down and that just wouldn't do. Thankfully at that moment the other members of Kompulsion walked into the room and she was saved from him touching her because right behind Stefan was none other than Caroline, the excitement on her face as she talked to the younger brother palpable. Letting out a slow breath Elena pushed her way towards the front of the bus, shoving past all the different members, and paused at the door.

"I'm going out."And then she was walking off of the bus, walking away from him again because she just couldn't do it anymore. Thankfully it was late at night, and while there were fans around, most of them didn't seem to recognize her. She easily made it to the edge of the parking lot, her hands shaking and her cheeks wet with tears. Meredith had told her she that had to stick it out and aside from being angry all the time she wasn't sure how she was going to be able to stand being next to him for any amount of time, especially considering that she had a feeling that Caroline was going to around a lot more often now that she knew about her.

-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!

The moment that Elena was off of the bus Damon was rounding on Stefan and Caroline.
"What are you even doing here?" He questioned Caroline, reaching for her arms and forcing her to look at him. Caroline rolled her eyes, her hands on her hips.

"I came to see my best friend." She snapped in the typical cheerleader fashion of hers, "It's just an added benefit that he's your brother, you know the whole two birds with one stone thing," She shrugged her shoulders before looking around the bus and adjusting the purse over her shoulders, "Now where are we sleeping?" Damon reached up to rub at his temples, the beginning for a migraine starting to form.

"Care, you can't stay here on the bus with us." He began only to have Caroline stomp her foot.
"They hell I can't," She snapped whirling around to look at Stefan; "you'll let me stay here won't you?" She pouted, reaching up to curl her fingers over the top of his chest.

"Of course," He smiled, reaching for the hand sitting on his chest and taking it in his own, "Damon is just stressed, he doesn't know what he's talking about." Damon groaned, knowing that if it came down to it Caroline would be staying, she had all of the members of Kompulsion except Elijah wrapped around her fingers and that was only because Elijah was married to his high school sweetheart Katerina.

Damon wasn't stupid, he knew that there was something going on between Caroline and Stefan and he had ignored it, had planned on calling off the engagement when the tour ended, before anyone could tell the media about it, but it was looking like that chance was going out the window. Stefan probably wasn't stupid either, probably knew that Caroline wasn't faithful to him either, that her and Klaus had their little thing going on behind closed doors but none of that mattered, Elena had guess when she called Caroline a whore but Damon would have agreed with the statement, would have loved to see the look on Elena's face if she knew how accurate the slur had been. Pinching the bridge of his nose he let out a rough breath.

There was no fixing things with Elena and until he figured out a way he wasn't sure what he was going to do about Caroline. Swearing softly under his breath he decided though that no matter what he would fix things with her, he needed too, even though they weren't even together Elena was the best thing that had ever happened to him and he was determined to gain her back.
